Program
Overview
The
Partnership Program is funded by the Florida Department of Education,
K-12 Public Schools, Bureau of Exceptional Education and Student
Services, and is designed to provide training and technical assistance
to teachers or a school program that wishes to enhance the educational
program for students with autism. Each teacher or school will be
matched to a Center for Autism and Related Disabilities (CARD)
professional who will mentor the teacher or school staff in developing
a plan for implementing innovative and effective practices within
educational programs for students with autism. The CARD partner
will provide support, resources, technical assistance, and training
that is specific to the needs identified by the teacher or school.
Participation in the Partnership Program is available for a maximum
